As someone who's in at both, and in love with BU, I'd take BU. I'm grateful for my GW offer, but if BU even comes close to matching it, I'll take it. So go, we can be drinking buddies if BU shares some love with me.

I got 106k from GW. If BU offered me 75k, it would take me some time to decide between the two. I think you'd be insane to take GW at sticker over BU with 75k unless your mission in life is to live in D.C.

I am not wed to an particular city after I graduate. Working in Boston, New York, or DC would be fine by me. I'm definitely leaning toward BU as well. The only reason I hesitate is that I've spent the past 2 years working in government/policy and I'd be very interested in all the opportunities I would get a GW to work for the federal government.

But GW sticker is hard to swallow, especially when BU is being so generous

Scholarship money is so damn unpredictable sometimes. I'm hoping to get BU to budge-and admittedly haven't even gotten my finaid package yet, but who knows. Take the money and run, as they say. The market in DC isn't that great, and the financial suicide that is GW at sticker would a lot of pressure on top of the already inherent pressurecooker atmosphere of law school

Just remember that Happy Hours are banned in Boston.

DC is a damned expensive city to drink in anyway---and 75k goes a long way to helping with drinking money. Also, rent is skyhigh in the nice parts of DC, while Boston isn't as bad
